They made a silly oversight in this movie though. There is NO WAY Pa Kent should of died. On Clark's journey here I would pretty much have to say he learned a plethora on human civilization, history, etc. and you mean to tell me he wasn't taught first aid / CPR?! You CAN be revived . 6 minutes before cataclysmic brain damage. Let's say because Pa was obviously old that his window to be revived is half the standard time. Even with that , the distance he was from Clark would be more than enough time for Clark to get to him and save him.

It's what was missing from the new Superman, The realization that you can't save humans from the most basic things like a heart attack no matter how powerful you are.

I will go even deeper into it. Hollywood today would not allow a scene like this because the current political climate is that of vague nuance and uncertainty. Superman now is not meant to be an inspirational beacon of hope like Richard Donner wanted to portray him as here. Today it is very dangerous to openly have any kind of moral compass, any kind of stable, rock steady, base of meaning to fall back on. The only thing movies today seem to agree is that you shouldn't let psychopaths kill people, and even then it's only implied without any drive or reason behind. It just so happens to happen and that's all you see in the Man of Steel. Oh that "I better stop these guys because they'll kill everyone just because". No emotional weight is given to Superman at all and that's the problem with most superhero movies

One of the greatest movies 🎥 of all time.

I watched superman when I was 10 years old by my self and it blew me away! Great time!!!

I had to dig deep and realized I did see this in the movies in 1978. And again when it was broadcast on ABC Channel 7 in New York City in 1983 five years later. The signal probably came from the Twin Towers and received on the rabbit antennas of a color television which at that time was new technology. The TV I watched it on had a tube which had to be replaced from time to time by a TV repairman. Having had watched the 3 hour TV version, it ran from 9PM to 12 Midnight. That I remember. Of course, I was eager to watch it and was tuned in for the whole show. Despite what others may highlight about it, I was there for it and say it was a little too long. The reason was that it was heavily saturated with commercials making it longer than needed. But it was Superman. It required some steel having not fallen asleep. Some memories last longer than others.

Glenn Ford was excellent in this scene.

This scene in the actual movie made me cry. 😭😭😭

This is the best superhero movie! Period

In this film, this is basically the one scene that stands in for all his growing up and learning who he is. In the context of this film, it fills that roll beautifully, and sets up the emotional arc of the film in one marvelous scene. For anyone who describes John Williams' score for this film as "loud" or "thunderous" (even in praise)... please listen to this scene as an example of how finely etched and how variegated this score is. it is so much more than just the theme, and conveys emotional and character information at every turn.

Christopher Reeve is the best Superman for ever...I love him and his story so much. It is great... An I say it as a German

Thank you for your efforts posting this😳😔😇

What makes this scene more powerful is that soon after his adoptive father John Kent dies, Clark reconnects with his birth father and together goes on spiritual journey with him and then emerges as Superman with a fierce determination to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.

I remember being disturbed by this scene as a child…

Glenn Ford does such a great job in this scene

The Donner/Reeve movies sometimes gets crapped on by modern Superman fans for not showing enough of the "human" side of Kal-El and being Clark Kent more instead of Superman, but THIS movie was the first to show Kal-El disobey his Krytponian heritage, disobey Jor-El and all his sanctimonious rules and listen to the Kents and his Clark Kent side when Supes is flying in the clouds in rage after Lois dies at the end of the movie. He uses his powers to bring back Lois. Without this movie, you don't get the inspiration for the Smallville TV show, as everyone remembered this scene, and you don't get Supes embrace Clark Kent far more in later movies and shows, as well as the reboot comics from the mid 80s.

And that's what makes him Superman. He understands the fragility of life. It's why he values life so much. Death is an inevitable part of living, which is why saving lives and helping people is so important to him. If James Gunn can even capture half the weight of this message, then the character is in good hands.

this was my first heartbreaking scene as a kid watching this

Eat your heart out, Zack Snyder. This is what a good superman movie looks like.

2:05 😭😭😭😭😭😭 2:13 “….Dad” 😭😭😭😭 The Kent’s…Super people.

little 8 year old me in the movie theater found this part a little overwhelmingly sad as well as when Clark gets his calling and tells Ma that he has to leave.

If anyone watched Invincible cartoon show, this scene proved why Nolan Grayson/Omniman lacked something. He married Debbie and had Mark but still, he followed the Viltrumite philosophy and treated them as nothing but "pets". That's why Superman is one of my favorite superheroes because he was adopted by the Kent family because they teach him a lessons between the good & bad things and how to balance it.

Lana Lang,Clark Kent‘s high school sweetheart,didn‘t arrive to pay her respects for Clark & Martha‘s loss.

Lana could've asked her parents to let her pay her last respects to Clark's father and asked them to accompany her so that Brad wouldn't be able to stop her.

For all we know, she did. We don't know how long Martha and Clark lingered at the grave. The scene was definitely some time after the funeral service. Everyone else might have already gone on to the wake.

This scene as a kids utterly destroyed me. Hated seeing it ever since.
